An imbalance of estrogen over
PROGESTERONE in women
(or TESTOSTERONE
in men)
is having an overall estrogenic
effect - The most well-known
repercussion of this is to cause overproliferation of cells in many reproductive
cancers and female issues, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian
fibroids, fibrocystic disease of the
breast.

The term “Estrogen Dominance” was coined by Dr.
John R. Lee - an author, expert and pioneer in the study and use of
PROGESTERONE and androgen supplementation to restore hormonal
balance.

Estrogen
dominance (ED) refers to a condition in the body where estrogen
presence is out of balance with (i.e. unopposed by)
other hormones - ED encompasses several unpleasant symptoms and maladies including:

– ED can be caused either by
excessive intake or production of
estrogenor insufficient intake or production of other hormones, such as
TESTOSTERONE and
PROGESTERONE - It is important to
grasp the concept that it is not so much the actual levels of hormones in
the body, so much as their levels relative to other hormones present.

– In aging men,estrogenlevels increase /TESTOSTERONE and PROGESTERONE levels decrease
- as TESTOSTERONE levels generally decline with age,
and the often increasing number of fat cells convert
TESTOSTERONE to estrogen. Also weak
testes produce lessPROGESTERONE

– Without ovulation, there
is no ovariancorpus luteumto produce
PROGESTERONE , and a PROGESTERONE deficiency ensues - Any estrogenpresent remains unopposed,
yielding several unwantedside effects. Unfortunately, maladies such as water
retention, weight gain, fatigue and depression are sometimes diagnosed as
separate problems and treated individually, when actually, they are symptoms of
a person with too much estrogen relative to
other hormones.

Today, research is showing that many women in their 30s and even younger
are sometimes not ovulating during their menstrual cycle.

Those of us living in the developed world are
“bathed in a continuous sea” ofestrogenand are likey facing hormonal imbalances resulting inestrogendominance
-A few of the reasons why ED is becoming so commonplace in both women and men are listed below, but for more detailed
